  • Breakers trip frequently
  • You hear buzzing from your panel
  • Lights flicker or dim under load
  • You smell burning or feel heat around the panel
  • You’re adding an EV charger, generator, or major appliance
  • Your panel is outdated, corroded, or labeled “Federal Pacific”

Donna, Brad, Josh and Will did an outstanding job! They were punctual, highly professional, and delivered exceptional work. I highly recommend their services.

Salvador Alarcon

Josh did an excellent job installing my new home EV charger. He was professional, efficient, and made sure everything was set up perfectly. I really appreciated how clearly he explained the process and walked me through how to use the charger safely. It’s great to have someone so knowledgeable and friendly handle the job. Highly recommend his services!

Gessin Pineda

Very professional company they had their representative Josh come install our EV charger. Josh was very meticulous and neat while installing the charger. Great service and highly recommended.

Gabriel Gabarron

The work performed at my residence by John and Johnny was not an easy task. Once the wall was opened up to upgrade the power to 200 amp service the details of the unexpected were revealed. With skill, patience, and professional approach to the work involved, they teamed up and presented work that was well done. Thank you, Fischer Electric, for the capable electricians you sent to perform this work. We still have outside work that needs to be performed and certainly John and Johnny are the techs to get it done.

Brad and Donna were attentive and responsive. Josh did a great job installing. He was on time, quick and clean. He made sure the charger worked properly and explained how and when to use it. And I never saw such an organized truck! 😊
